Fair play for pointing these out. It was a rough tough game and I didn't think either side were paticularly out of order, no surprise to see a load of bitching and moaning about Leeds on here though, whilst conveniently skipping over anything Wigan might have done.

Thats a shock, on the Wigan board, well my my!!... Perhaps you could go to the Leeds board and talk about what a misunderstood angel Mr Bailey is....

Leeds tried every trick in the book, but thankfully for us, Gaz Hock put himself about to warn the beggars off. MM put himself about too, mind, isn't he from Leeds ?

Yes he is and he always has a good game against us. Turning into a nice old school number 9 IMO. Nice aggression and tough as old boots, but not unskillful either.

Have you only ever been to 1 Rugby League game ?

Every clubs fans in the RL complain about Bailey and his cheap shot tactics. Just go on their boards and see what they think about Bailey.

Or maybe your Baileys Dad. Now he is an 'hardcase' after watching him attack an armed robber on video.

The same Hock who nearly gouged Ben Harissons eyes out last season????

Hey-up..... The glamour boys are back in town!!!!

That was my point, Sherlock.

Yes and he got banned for it. That's the point which the poster was getting at. But its Leeds and likelihood is that Hock will get another ban for breathing on a Leeds player.

Read all the posts before replying and you would actually comprehend what the posts were going on about.

just for the record,, does anyone ever see bailey running towards HOCK when theres trouble..i cant seem to remeber...??? isnt it usally sam he goes for??,,, i may be wrong,, i dunno..

I'm afraid they're the facts. As I said in my next post Peacock makes more high shots than Bailey, but then you don't notice that because you like Peacock, presumably because he projects a different image. Bailey goes out to antagonise and irritate, that's his game, like it or not. It's very effective.

You could go on every Super League board and find people spouting all sorts of stuff about Tomkins (and prior to him leaving his brother as well), but that doesn't necessarily make it true, so I'm not sure of the relevance of that particular point.

Bailey has elements of his game that are unsavoury, but the fact is that we love having him in our side and so would you if he was a Wigan player. Every team has one. Lauaki is a penalty waiting to happen and dishes out his fair share of cheap shots himself. I dare say it won't stop you backing him to the hilt should any criticism come his way though.

Ooops sorry i seem to of taken Advantage of the £1.98 a pint in Wetherspoons at lunchtime and jumped in with both feet ..

To be honest, I hope Bailey is cleared to play against Manly. See how he goes against a NRL pack. I'd be surprised if he's even cited by Red Hall, given the close association between the RFL and Gary Hetherington.

Just watched the game on TV. There's an amusing moment when it kicks off between McIIorum and Haraki. Hock runs in to break up the fight as do other players. Hock realises Ablett is next to him in the scuffle and gives him a swift poke with the elbow, then the players have to get between them.

A peacemaker he isn't...

Well if he is cleared to play, he will be luckier than Jeff Lima was for us prior to the WCC last season.

With it being Leeds though I'm sure there will be no issue.
